The Fightins (56-73) had taken a 3-2 lead in the seventh inning when Albert Cartwright sacrificed home Peter Lavin, but Bowie (65-63) drew even in the eighth on Ron Bermudez’s RBI groundout and went up to stay when Michael Ohlman drew a bases-loaded walk. Marrero followed with a blast to center field, his eighth of the season.

Jake Fox (2-for-2) belted his 20th homer for Reading, which saw starter Aaron Nola go five innings while allowing five hits and two runs and striking out two.
